How can a spring balance be used to emasure the gravitational mass of a body?

Figure shows a 5 kg ladder hanging from a string that is connected with a ceiling and is having a spring balance connected in between. A boy of mass 25 kg is climbing up the ladder at acceleration 1(m)/(s^2) . Assuming the spring balance and the string to be massless and the spring to show a constant reading, the reading of thespring balance is: (Take g=10(m)/(s^2) )

In figure, block A hangs by a cord form spring balance D and it submerged in a liquid C contained in a beaker B . The mass of the beaker is 1 kg . The mass of the liquid is 1.5 kg . Balance D reads 7.5 kg . The volume of block A is 0.003 m^(3) . The mass per unit volume of the liquid is

A cord is tied at one end to a sprind balance of weight 3 kg supporting a mass of 5 kg . The cord passes over a smooth fixed pulley carrying a load of 10 kg at the other end . What will be the reading of the spring balance when the system moves ? How will the reading vary if the load of 10 kg be replaced by a load of 6 kg ? [Hint : Consider free-body diagrams of 5 kg , 10 kg and the system (5 kg body + 3 kg spring ).]

A spring balance reads 10 kg when a bucket of water is suspended from it. What is the reading on the spring balance when (i) an ice cube of mass 1.5 kg is put into the bucket (ii) an iron piece of mass 7.8 kg suspended by another spring is immersed with half its volume inside the water n the bucket. Relative density of iron = 7.8
